This leg is a nice hike through the woods and onto the edge of the escarpment. The views along the way are great. You can take a left at the top of the Rainbow Falls trail to Castle Point, which will take you to Lake Minnewaska. There is a left onto Sunset Carriageway before reaching the upper lot.
